Experimental evaluation of remote manipulator systems.The objectives of the experimental studies described include an evaluation of existing anthropomorphic manipulators and several controller/display combinations. Inherent limitations of the 12-M type manipulator are identified and recommendations are made concerning manipulator and work site designs that will permit servicing and maintenance tasks to be performed by manipulators. Regions needing additional analytical and experimental investigations are identified. The experiments conducted are concerned with thruster replacement, battery replacement, compartment inspection, antenna installation, fluid coupling, and maneuvering and docking.
